Hi there - well after spending a couple of nights camping in our tent we have decided to sell the tent and get a caravan as my body and bones can not take the cold :( - nothing to lavish, cant afford that, but upto £1,000 to accomadate me hubby and 2 kids (boy of 7 and girl of 3).  What do people do about the sleeping arrangements?  Been taking a look round and not sure if I like the bunk bed ideas, scared kids will fall out, but then what about 2 double beds? Who shares with who or do we just get a smaller caravan and we sleep in the awning with kids in caravan?

Thanks for any advice.

If youre going to let the kids share a double, get them a sleeping bag each.

We went for the two berth and sleep in the awning option when we first started, soon changed our minds!  Dont go for less than a 4 berth, you'll need the room and in bad weather, you know you can all be safe and snug in the van.

ditto above

we have a five berth - although we don;t use the bunk.  We don;t have fixed beds but a double dinette - which means the kids can have there own end to play on a rainy day.
